... or idiot parents listening to Jenny McCarthy.

Good thing none of that money's going to help the poor / sick of Kentucky, but to recreate a freaking fictional boat to prove it could be done.

Pretty rad, actually. I love well-produced tv animation, and I think that there are some Japanese and US studios that could really bring Murakami's surreal scenes to life (ie, pretty much everything in Hard-Boiled Wonderland & The End of the World). Animation's naturally a visual media, so I'd have high…

Haruki Murakami's existential mystery novels would make for an interesting, ecclectic anthology series (say one book per season).

It also looks like they hiked in a motion control unit for precision panning / dolley moves (the car shot notwithstanding). That can't be lightweight, esp w/ the rest of their gear.

Ghost in the Shell & Akira.

And a tinfoil hat FEMA Camp conspiracy theorist's wet dream today.

John Carpenter's The Thing / Big Trouble in Little China / They Live:

Super Cool.

Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai.

A great companion piece to Katsuhiro Otomo's Memories entry "Cannon Fodder":

Except Dead Man. Ugh.

A Glacial Land Bridge is an ideal home for Trolls.

Yes. Far less intimidating than Lynch's radioactive garbagemen:

Most hilariously anti-climactic? Scott Pilgrim vs. Nega-Scott.

For all-out evil vampire sociopath, I'd put Tae-Ju from Thirst at the top of the list.

The sad old grandfather in Cronos made for a horrifying vampire.

Bowie / Deneuve were badass. Quite, but straight death.

No sparkles here:

And of course, Parker Posey. Actually the stunt casting in BT is quite brilliant. I wish Del Toro had been able to direct this one too.
